Handling Misconduct

Genesiv wants you to be able to keep your community safe. Rules uphold structure and ensure that everyone on your server has a good time. When those rules are broken, community owners can penalize a rule-breaker by warning them and/or limiting their access to your community.

Misconduct management.

First, head over to the Misconduct page in your community settings.

Here, you will be able to view an extensive list of your server's members. Locate the user you would like to assign misconduct to and select the dropdown menu located below 'Assign Misconduct'.

There are 3 ways you can deal with misconduct from your members.

Warn

Issue the offender a warning. Perhaps not all offenders deserve an immediate suspension or ban. Use warnings to let the offender know what they've done wrong and inform them of the consequences if they were to offend again.

Members will receive a notification containing the warning when the warning is issued. There are no limits to how many times you can warn a single member, and multiple warnings can be issued at any time.

Suspend

Temporarily suspend the offender's access to your community. Suspensions prevent a user from viewing and communicating in channels. You will be able to specify a suspension period for each offender, as well as include a reason for suspension that they will be able to see when attempting to access any channel in your server. Suspensions are automatically revoked after the suspension period has ended, but can also be manually revoked, or extended at any time.

To extend a suspension, click on the pencil icon next to the current suspension expiration date. From there, you will be able to set a new 'Effective Till' date as well as specify a reason for the change.

Ban

Permanently Ban the offender from your community. Doing so will prevent the user from accessing your community. Bans have no time limit but can be revoked at any time. Simply select 'Ban'

Do note that banned users still have to be removed from your community manually.
